3.5mm USB A & C Audio Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-NGKGAD)

 3.5mm USB A & C Audio Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-NGKGAD)
If you're in the market for a widely supported USB-C or A audio adapter you've found the best solution for GNU/Linux on the market. Unlike many USB audio adapters that are poorly supported this adapter will work with whichever flavor of GNU/Linux you enjoy using. It'll also work with most cell phones, gaming consoles, and similar devices. With a libre-friendly sound chip and a design that won't consume your limited # of USB ports it's a great work-around for anyone with a flaky built-in audio chipset.

  • Support for Mic input and Audio output

  • USB Audio Class Compliant

  • Supports all popular and libre (free) distributions

  • Not dependent on NDISWrapper, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware

  • Wider compatibility than others type C to 3.5mm adapters

  • Independent chip for sound decoding with a sound sample rate up to 16 bit / 48 kHz


Supports distributions and releases with a 4.15+ kernel
